We really enjoyed our night at Annette's place. It was very comfy, with all we needed, and Annette was very friendly and relaxed. thank you!

Annette was a fantastic host. She was incredibly flexible (as I was late on arrival) and was able to accommodate everything we needed during our stay. The BnB is great, a lovely bedroom with en-suite and a good sized living space with LOADS of local information and goodies - and a large parking space just to top it off. The local area is beautiful, I never expected it to be as picturesque as it was. I would highly recommend this little gem of an AirBnB!

Our stay at FreeSpirit was really fantastic. The details provided by Annette were accurate and the hospitality provided by her was superb. As written in the details, we had no problems with breakfast. Few pointers to those who wish to book the place: a. Take small car (Not SUV kind) as the roads are narrow and are like maze (Not that you will be lost somewhere, but, it will look like you are in a maze). b. O2 network didn't work for me at or near to this place. Prefer taking EE network as (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps is really important. c. You will have access to BP petrol bunk which is like 10 miles from Annette's place. d. If you have more than 1 car, do check with Annette for parking. e. Do not worry about the pics on website as place looks much better than the ones shown. f. Internet is little slow at Annette's place, but, manageable if you just want to browse things. g. Carry cash as ATM was not working in BP petrol bunk and cards were not accepted due to problem with the device. (During our stay).

Annette was very patient when I had to alter the booking a couple of times due to a last minute change of plan. We were visiting friends in the area and were taking part in some water sports in the sea, and Annette even offered us the use of her tumble dryer for our gear! There were plenty of options available in the BnB for breakfast, with hot drinks too. Annette also took the time to direct us around the area and advise us on the best local pubs!

Dittisham is a very romantic place and Celias cottage is the perfect place to stay as a couple. The cottage is very charming and is equiped with everything you could possibly need. Celia is an extremely charming host and I cant wait to go back and stay again. Its was extremely clean, cosy and comfortable. For me its way better than any 5 star hotel. My husband and I both loved it.

Jane2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Celia's cottage was lovely and Celia's is a great host, making us feel very welcome. Would completely recommend this place.

A one double bedroomed annexe, with ensuite shower room, large open plan living/dining/kitchentte, own access and parking. Very light, airy, private and peaceful, yet 5 mins walk from quaint village centre (pubs & shops) & beautiful River Dart/Quay.

The annexe is made up of a large open plan sitting area with a freeview tv & wifi, a kitchenette with fridge, combination microwave/oven/grill, double ceramic hob, toaster, kettle, sink and all the utensils/crockery/cutlery etc needed. There is a small table with chairs for dining or working. Electric heaters are provided. There is a separate double bedroom with an ensuite shower room. There is a large ordnance survey map on the wall of the local beautiful south hams area, as well as guide books to help you explore. Tea, coffee, milk and a Devon treat with be waiting for you on arrival!

Stoke Gabriel is located on the River Dart, about halfway between the delightful historic town of Totnes and beautiful Dartmouth. The annexe is about 2 minute walk from the mill pool, which leads to the quay and river, about 5 minute walk away. Although the annexe is located in a very quiet spot of the village (the nearest road is a dead end so not much passing traffic), there is a lot going on in the village which has a great community spirit. There is lots to do for everyone...walking, crabbing, canoeing, eating, drinking in one of the 4 pubs/cafes.

Lovely place with very sympathic hosts. We were so exceptionally comfortable there. The appartment is quiet and has lots of light. Everything you could need to cook, make tea and so on is there. It has an own entrance, so we could come and leave at any time without bothering anyone. The bed was super comfortable. Everything was perfectly clean and well organized. Whenever we would return to Devon, we'd love to stay there again.

Michael2016-10-18T00:00:00Z

The Annexe was just as we expected from Lexi's description and pictures. It was ideally located for us as we love pottering around Brixham, Dartmouth, Beesands as an example and Stoke Gabriel itself was a lovely village to stroll around in the evening with a couple of pubs and restos to end the evening in. We loved the light that flooded into the Annexe and the outside space with the stream was perfect for soaking up the atmosphere. The equipment was spot on in the kitchen and the bed was very comfy. It was a very easy place to stay in. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Lexi for leaving us some goodies including your handmade biscuits, a lovely touch.

Sarah & David2016-06-01T00:00:00Z

Great stay in a really nice property, which is exactly as shown in the pictures. Lexi and Tim were really helpful and prompt with their communications prior to our stay, and even took the time to get in touch to let us know there was an issue with the shower screen and they had left a small something in the fridge to compensate. There wasn't any need to do that, but it was a lovely touch from lovely hosts! The location is peaceful, with a little stream behind the property and a ten minute stroll to the heart of the village. Better still take the slightly longer stroll along the edge of the estuary and stop for a beer or an ice cream at the cabin on the harbour side. Another tip is to climb the hill directly behind the property and watch the sunset over the estuary with a glass / bottle of wine. Would recommend to others, and in fact already have, despite only being back for less than 24 hours.

GRAHAM2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Everything we were looking for for a quiet relaxing stay. We hòpe to return

Lexi and Tim were fantastic hosts. We were greeted by Tim on arrival. He showed me around the annexe and gave us some ideas for places to visit. The annexe is a lovely place to stay, it's very clean and tidy and provided everything we needed for our short visit. The location is beautiful and if we had more time we would have explored the local area more.

Tom2017-01-04T00:00:00Z

Incredible holiday! The annexe was a very welcoming experience; everything was clean, tidy, and I felt at home. Everything you could possibly want to know is provided in the host's booklet, in the annexe, which just shows the care that has gone into providing such an amazing AirBnB destination! Definitely coming back soon.

Overlooking the millpool at Stoke Gabriel leading into the River Dart. Set in South Down woods, very peaceful but within walking distance of lovely village of Stoke Gabriel with shop, 2 pubs & cafe. Parking for 2 cars, steps to property. Close to Torbay beaches, River Dart, Totnes, the South Hams villages & Dartmoor, my place is good for couples & families. A double kayak KiWi 2 is available for use - e.g. to canoe down to Agatha Christie's Greenway or the pub at Tuckenhay.

Furnished to a high standard, this 18th century 3 bed converted barn provides comfort, privacy and a sense of well-being. Tucked high in the oxygenating oak, beech and sweet chestnut woods above the beautiful Millpool in a very quiet and secluded spot is this charming attached 18th century converted barn with glimpses through the trees down to the large Millpool leading into the River Dart and the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel. This is a spacious, bright, newly refurbished property ideal for couples and families.

South Downs is a collection of only 4 properties set high in South Downs wood overlooking the beautiful Millpool leading into the River Dart and opposite the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel. This is a very tranquil location with no road noise. The lovely village of Stoke Gabriel is tucked on the banks of the River Dart and is noted not only for its sailing, but also a choice of 2 traditional inns, 1 cafe, a beautiful Norman church with an ancient yew tree and many local footpaths. This is a perfect spot for a truly relaxing holiday with the option of doing nothing in the comfort and seclusion of this most inviting, spacious and attractive property with its beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls, terracotta floor tiles and attractive Millpool valley views through the trees. You can walk through the woods along the Millpool to the river beach on the River Dart and picnic overlooking the river and Dittisham in the distance on the opposite bank or go crabbing on the weir. Visit medieval Totnes, just 10 minutes by car with its castle, restaurants and famous high street. One can canoe down (or drive) to Sharpham vineyard where they make is a surprisingly good selection of English wines and wine and cheese tastings can be booked. A few miles further lies Brixham with its famous harbour, fish market and fish restaurants; also Dartmouth with its famous steam railway (summer only), cruises and boat hire on the River Dart. Try canoeing on the River Dart like the locals do - either use our kayak or hire a canoe from local company. The village is located 4 miles from the golden beaches of the English Riviera with the rugged beauty of Dartmoor just half an hour's drive away and Salcombe and its beaches about 35 minutes away.

Our stay at Overcreek was superb in every way! Brian was fantastic. His instructions from getting there to getting around to local recommendations were fantastic and on point. We had one query during our stay which Brian sorted out for us immediately. The house is in the perfect location whether you want to explore Devon or just cosy up at the house. Trust me we will be visiting again!

Overcreek is a well located and well resourced cottage in a peaceful location. The views from the property are stunning and inside it is a beautifully furnished and comfortable cottage. Brian was a.good host who remained in regular communication with us before and during our stay. Stoke Gabriel village is a fifteen minute walk from the cottage and there are two friendly pubs and a shop there. I would recommend this property for a peaceful getaway.

Jennifer2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

This is a really comfortable house in a secluded location in woods. Beautifully maintained cottage. Ideal for exploring the beaches, local countryside and Totnes. Highly recommended.

The space is self-contained and with a kitchen, so you'll be able to make meals if you wish. There are cafes and pubs not far away if you prefer to eat out.

Greenway and Coleton Fishacre are close by - and both are beautiful National Trust properties. Coleton with glorious garden and access to cliff path walks. Dartmouth, Brixham, Totnes and Dartington are all within 30 minutes by car. Slapton Sands (bird watching), Start Point and Beesands are a good outing beyond Dartmouth.
Boat trips on the River Dart, a steam train, canoeing, sailing, beaches. Great walks from the door. We're directly on several marked footpaths.
So make sure you stay long enough to enjoy some of these!

A little piece of heaven in the South Devon countryside. My husband and I enjoyed a delightful, tranquil, few days break. When we arrived, Rosemary was there to greet us ensuring we had everything we needed. The annex was warm, light, spotlessly clean and well equipped for all our needs. Rosemary was away for most of our stay but in contact if we need anything. Three minutes’ walk down the lane, there are spectacular views over Dartmouth and the surrounding countryside. The nearby village has a wonderful convenience store stocking local produce as well as butchers shop. There are some lovely walks and Agatha Christies Green Ways House is nearby. We would highly recommend staying at Drift House Annexe and would love visit again in the in the near future. Thank you Rosemary, we really enjoyed our stay. Best wishes Penny & Ian.

Penny 2015-10-16T00:00:00Z

The annexe is located at the end of a country lane, just 2 mins from a lovely national trust site with spectacular views. Rosemary made us feel very welcome and was on hand to give us a quick insight into the local area. Any problems that we had she went out of her way to resolve and overall was a wonderful host. We visited in November and the annexe was a warm and cosy little place for the two of us to relax and enjoy the peace of the countryside. We visited some lovely places nearby and ate at some great little pubs around the area. We particularly enjoyed the Old Market House in Brixham. This is a great place to get away from the pace of the city and take some time out for walks and warming food.

Very nice place and very welcoming owners. They provide a lot of information and maps of walks and things to in the surroundings. Walking down to the little ferry to Dartmouth (20 min.) and walking back from Dartmouth in a few hours is one of the many great ways of spending the day.

The accommodation was delightful and tastefully decorated in a contemporary cottage style with many homely touches. There were many thoughtful extras such as the provision of a multi journey tag to allow reduced vehicle crossing charges on the Dartmouth ferry, a whole bunch of walkers maps, wellington boots, an assortment of books and games, and excellent wifi. Our hosts were very pleasant and refreshingly relaxed. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Annexe. The decor is very tranquil and we felt very comfortable staying there. In fact we haven't slept so well for a long time. We want to buy that bed! There are wonderful walks nearby with amazing views of the River Dart. We didn't manage to get to the ferryboat over to Dittisham but it is definitely on our to-do list. Communication with our hosts was excellent. Thank you so much for making the Annexe available for us to stay in.

We had the most wonderful time at Jilly's barn. The view is completely stunning, I witnessed one of the best sunrises of my life. She was very kind and accommodated us staying an extra night at very short notice due to one our party being ill. It's a lovely spot, totally recommended. Thanks Jilly!

Lauren2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. The pictures do not and cannot do it justice. We had a wonderful week here with my 5 year old and spent a week visiting loads of local attractions all a short drive away. Jill made us feel very welcome. We will be back North Barn is truly a magical place .

The Barn was the perfect place to get some overdue writing completed. Beautifully equipped, stunning views and as much peace and quiet as you could hope for. Jilly was the perfect host - accepting my booking at short notice and being there if needed. Will definitely return to make more of the fab pubs in walking distance.

Justin2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

Jilly is a fantastic host; she made us feel welcome from the off and went beyond to ensure that we would have a lovely, easy stay. The barn itself is superb - light, airy, well-prepared and entirely encourages relaxation (if the view wasn't enough). The balcony deserves a special mention for anyone who enjoys bird watching or star gazing! We had a beautiful few days and came away feeling entirely relaxed; hopefully we will get to return one day!

Hi Jilly, Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our few days down in Devon and how glad I am that I picked North Barn. I don't think I've woken up at 7am on a Sunday in many years but the sunshine and view made us want to be up and not miss a moment of that wonderful view and tranquillity. Thank you also for all your recommendations! We loved The Riverford Field Kitchen, it was the perfect start to a wonderful few days. Getting the boat from Dittisham to Dartmouth was just lovely and indulging in a fish feast at the Anchorstone Café is something I would happily drive the 4 hours for! All in all, a lovely memorable 4 days that we will no doubt be wanting to re-create on a yearly basis! Best wishes Tracy and Patrick.

This house has the best view ever! What you see on the pictures is nearly as good as it is in real life. Jilly has send us a very good description on how to find the house. We felt very welcome and had an excellent stay.

The Stream Room is large and light, overhead are lime-washed oak timbers and doors open onto a private balcony overlooking the Barberry Water and wild bank. The bed is huge and comfy, there is a sunken bath in one corner with windows overlooking the stream and an en-suite shower room with WC. The room has free WiFi and a landline for you to use. A cosy room but light and airy with plenty of space to spread out.

The Stream Room will give you lots of space to spread out. We can even pop an extra bed in for you if your little one wants to come too - and doggies are most welcome as long as they bring their own bed and breakfast!

We are hidden away in the prettiest little valley just a mile from the River Dart but only 6 miles from Totnes and Dartmouth - lively towns with fabulous shops, markets and festivals. The river is a wonderful place to play - boats of all shapes and sizes to be enjoyed - everything from canoes to a paddle steamer. Dartmoor and the South West coast path provide gorgeous days out and places of interest such as Agatha Christie's holiday hone Greenway and the D'Oyly Carte house Coleton Fishacre are just a short ferry trip away. For the best seafood lunch around pop into the village of Dittisham to the Anchorstone Cafe - you will need the walk back to walk it off!

A super relaxing stay, with very warm and welcome hosts. The Eco lodge was very well kept and had great facilities. The rest of the Fingals place was full of character and had a great vibe. Highly recommended.

When we booked the stream room we didn't realise it was part of a larger hotel. However our stay was very relaxing and the room is honestly one of the nicest we have ever stayed in - very light, contemporary decoration and artworks, a bath with a view over the stream and balcony. Sheila and Richard and their staff were all very welcoming. We made use of the pool and enjoyed lovely cooked breakfasts on the lawn. There is an honesty bar with hotel prices if you fancy a drink. We took Waffle our dog who loved playing with the owners dog and walks down the lane. The area is beautiful and we very much enjoyed exploring. We hired a boat one day which was excellent, Greenway was wonderfully dog friendly as we're many of the pubs.

Mark and Kate2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Fingals. What a find! We hope to stay again.

Andrew2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

The Streamroom is exactly what I was dreaming of. A secret little hideaway in a beautiful part of the country. The room is spacious and light, pretty and private. And the sound of the stream below the balcony makes it all the more special. I would highly recommend it but fear telling too many people about this little gem or it will be fully booked forevermore!

The place is clean and cosy and has everything you need. We couldn't fault our stay and the lovely Jeremy. We will definitely be staying again! :)

Situated in the most idyllic location on the edge of the River Dart and next to a freshwater lake, this substantial property is a 10 minute drive from Dartmouth between Kingswear & Galmpton. You can simply relax and switch off watching the wildlife on the lake, the comings and goings on the River, wave to the steam train as it passes over the viaduct or explore the beautiful surrounding countryside, local national trust properties and nearby coastal walks.

We have marketed the property through another channel for the past few year but are testing out Airbnb, so for reassurance as its a new listing here are a couple of past guests' reviews of the property:
“Wow factor again and again ... Expect your first visit to be a series of, “WOW!” moments. Initially it’s the view down to the River Dart as you descend the steep private drive, actually several wows during that. The inside of the cottage is roomy to say the least. A table-tennis table takes up less than half the conservatory, there are two lounges and a huge kitchen with two dishwashers. It’s all well-appointed and it is very well kept and maintained – thanks to caretakers. Walking by the river, around the lake / pool or into the woods is another sequence of wow moments, especially when you see the kingfisher or the steam train go over the viaduct, still inside the property boundaries! ...This is a perfect place to relax, chill-out and have a quiet family holiday. But it’s also an ideal centre from which to explore the beautiful south Devon countryside, by car or on foot, including local farm ciders. Of course driving after drinking cider is not recommended". Trip Advisor
"A Little Bit Of Heaven .. We stayed for a week in this lovely cottage (more a house ) the location is out of this world is very roomy and well laid out we spent our late afternoon/early evening down beside the river Dart drinking our Gin & Tonic and watching the boats going up and down the river, there are lots of wildlife in and around the Lake and lots of places to visit close by I could have stayed there a lot longer, well worth booking and having your own bit of heaven ". Trip Advisor
The home offers very spacious accommodation comprising of a large kitchen, with an Aga and French doors opening into the garden; a cosy sitting room with french doors opening into a sizeable garden room running the length of the property, with further doors opening onto the garden in front of the property with views over the River Dart and Maypool lake. Also on the ground floor is a large dining area leading to the kitchen and a ground floor double bedroom. There is also a utility room to the rear with a washing machine and dryer.
On the first floor there are a further three bedrooms. A substantial master bedroom with walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, plus french doors leading out onto a balcony with views over the River Dart, Maypool lake and the viaduct. A double bedroom to the front also benefits from access out onto the balcony, with a further twin bedroom and the family bathroom to the rear.
The garden wraps around the front of the property, is laid to lawn with a sunken BBQ area and edged by the large Maypool lake (and its resident pair of swans) with the banks of the River Dart a few steps away. A footpath leads around the banks of the lake, taking in the breathtaking viaduct, built in 1860 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel as part of the former SDR/GWR railway from Newton Abbot to Kingswear, now taking the Steam Train to and from Kingswear to Paignton, leading back around to the banks of the river. Parking is available to the rear of the property.

There are plenty of places to visit nearby, such as Dartmouth, Brixham, the National Trust Greenway Estate (home of Agatha Christie), the National Trust Coleton Fishacre Estate, Sharpham Vineyard Estate, Blackpool Sands, Slapton Sands. Or take a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Train or one of the various River Dart boats and enjoy the stunning scenery. Or lastly, enjoy the outstanding landscapes walking the Dart Valley Trail linking in with the South West Coastal Path.

We had 3 nights here and what a fantastic place it is. The house was as advertised and probably seemed bigger when we got in. It takes a bit of finding down a very steep road, so if the weather is icy, this could be a problem. Otherwise we all found it OK, well sign posted and the postcode given took the sat nav to near enough the end of the private road (which is the steep bit). All amenities were as described and the views are spectacular, from the balcony which surrounds the master & second bedroom, down the River Dart. It's about a 10 to 15 minute journey to the Upper ferry, which runs constantly across to Dartmouth. All in all a wonderful place, very comfortable and enough space for a large family to use as a base for the area. The host was very attentive with replying to questions we had, and made the stay very easy.

Matt2016-12-17T00:00:00Z

Only good things to say! Great location, excellent host and caretaker, a lovely spacious place, exactly as described. And we managed to brush up on our table tennis skills too! Beautiful part of the world. We'd absolutely recommend staying here.

Gerald2017-03-20T00:00:00Z

Maypool Cottage was everything we expected and more! The booking process was simple and efficient, communication with the host almost immediate, directions to the property were clear and accurate and having the caretaker on hand gave peace of mind should you need him(URL HIDDEN)The cottage is spacious and clean and is great value for money(URL HIDDEN)Taking a trip from Greenway Quay to the Ferry Boat Inn at Dittisham was well worth braving the cold fo(URL HIDDEN)With breathtaking views, lovely walks around the lake and a wave to the passing steam train , we couldn't have had a more relaxing break.

Tricia2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

We felt very lucky to be able to stay here, it's a beautiful house in a breathtaking location. Upon arrival Becki the caretaker gave us a tour of the house and made us feel very welcome. There's lots of lounge and dining spaces which make this a really easy place for a big family to stay together without feeling crowded. The kitchen is really well equipped and the beds are pretty comfy. Most of all we loved the garden and the views - it would be amazing in the summer.

Sarah2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

This is a truly an idyllic place to stay, the rooms are spacious and comfortable with views of the lake and river with all it's wildlife and boats. The steam train going across the viaduct is the icing on the cake. An inspirational place for artists or those looking for peace and tranquility. Bring binoculars to make the most of the scenery.

Philippa2017-03-09T00:00:00Z

Incredible place. peaceful. remote. beautiful. natural. fabulous views. next to river and lake and woods and birds and frogs and dragonflies and squirrels and fish and a seal swam past and a heron and ducks and.... . ...... huge... no really... huge house! Really nice and helpful caretakers on site who live in a partitioned wing of the house. the left windows as you look at it. lovely people. crazy steep hill in and out so road walking is not for the infirm. nice local pub but more if a drive away unless adventurous. wonderful view down the river to Dartmouth in the distance. lovely walk around lake. .. a bit like a mini "lost gardens of ". Hesitate to recommend it in case you book it when we want to return. ... :)

Cevn2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Great location, great house, Becky and Marcus were very helpful and made us very welcome, definitely one to come back to!

One of the most romantic spots in South Devon, the Cider Barn offers guests unrivalled views across the Dart estuary. Just 20 minutes drive away from both bustling Totnes and Dartmouth, and sandwiched between picturesque Dittisham and Tuckenhay, this is an ideal base from which to access the many attractions of the South Hams.
With its impressive outlook and luxury fittings, the Cider Barn is perfect for couples or families with older children

The lofty two bedroom conversion is built in the style of a boathouse, and adjoins a working barn - which is home to Riverside Farm's original cider press, a wood-turner and a boat builder.
The open-plan living area's main focus is the double-height living room with views across the river and a dramatic iron chandelier hanging overhead. A wood-burning stove, homely furnishings and a piano make the room feel relaxing and cosy all the year round. The living space also accommodates an entrance hallway with space for boots and coats, a dining area and a fully-fitted kitchen. There is a separate WC and a utility room off the entrance hallway.
There are two bedrooms on the same level: one bedroom has zip-and-link twin beds that can be made into a super-king, with a dressing room and ensuite bath, shower and WC; the other bedroom has a double bed with an ensuite walk-in shower and WC.
The upstairs mezzanine floor provides a further relaxation area with a large desk.
Cider Barn has two balconies: one of which runs along the full width of the living area and overlooks the river as it meanders towards Dittisham - steps lead down to a small lawn area. The other balcony/patio faces north and west off the dining area and overlooks the barn courtyard.

The rolling hills, estuaries, moors and beaches of South Devon make this area an unbeatable holiday destination for anyone wanting to explore some of England's finest countryside. Nestled between fields of sheep and ancient woodland, Cider Barn feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of pretty Dartmouth and characterful Totnes, yet it is only a 20 minute drive from each.
At dusk bats fly overhead, and owls can be heard calling across the river, which itself is home to warblers, curlews, egrets and seals. The local villages of Dittisham and Tuckenhay have well renowned riverside pubs and the beautiful beaches of Slapton and Blackpool Sands are just a 25 minute drive away.
The list of activities to do or places to explore in South Devon is never ending - whether you like fishing or steam trains, kayaking or walking, naval history or vineyards, there is something for everyone.

Driftwood is an attractive chalet bungalow situated at Galmpton Holiday Park, a small, private site with 48 bungalows. The property offers compact yet stylish accommodation with fantastic views of the River Dart from the patio. The site is peaceful and quiet so you can relax and enjoy the fantastic views.
If it is a relaxing holiday you are looking for, an action packed break with the children or lazing around on the beach, then Driftwood is the perfect destination for you.

We had a wonderful stay at Driftwood, Lisa was very helpful and on hand if we needed anything. I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful part of Devon.

Georgina 2016-11-07T00:00:00Z

We came to this lovely chalet with two dogs looking for a quiet getaway for a few days and we were absolutely delighted with Lisa's place. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided, including complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and a kitchen was well stocked so that we were able to cook our own meals very easily. We went during the off season and found the chalet to be very well heated, which we were very grateful for! The holiday park itself also has a small garden at the very bottom specifically for dogs to play around in, which was very convenient. The chalet is in a great location with some amazing views over the River Dart and is the perfect starting point for walks over to Greenway, where some utterly astonishing views are to be had. I would also highly recommend taking the ferry to Dittisham for a walk around the picturesque village and a drink in the two local pubs. All in all, I would highly recommend Lisa's place to stay and we very much look forward to returning.

kieran2017-01-13T00:00:00Z

Just lovely. Very compact, clean and restful. can't wait to go back!

Louisa2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Beautiful landscape in a cozy place. Near Torquay, Dartmoor national park, Agatha Christie's house and so many steam train travels. A place to cherish and remember.

Marina2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

Driftwood is beautiful. The location is great - situated within walking distance of the River Dart and the ferry to Dittisham, and walking distance to the village and more importantly, the village pub. Further up the road you can access the coast and also buses that run along the English Riviera. We took our dogs. There is a really handy dog walk on site and lots of lovely off lead walking off site. The chalet is really well equipped - Lisa has thought of everything. It was perfect for a peaceful weekend away.

Julie2017-01-23T00:00:00Z

Lisa responded to all my emails however listing tells you pretty much all you need to know so didn't need much additional information. Lisa sent directions however the bungalow is easy to find if you put the postcode in your sat nav. Stayed for a couple of nights the week before Christmas so the site was very quiet which was lovely (I can imagine it gets very busy in the summer). The view from the patio and front window is lovely over the river. The bungalow was warm when we arrived and gets really cosy once the heating is on - however bedrooms get very hot so we turned bedroom heater off at night. Very clean, had everything we needed - cooking wise , toilet roll etc. There is a selection of books, DVDs, and info about local area on offer. The bungalow is a great location for walking or for trips to Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. There's an asda, aldi and Morrison's within an easy drive. I wouldn't personally recommend this location if you do not have your own transport. Overall had a really brilliant time and would definitely stay again. Thank you Lisa.

Jenny2016-12-21T00:00:00Z

This is a lovley comfortable place

Sam2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

Driftwood Bungalow was just as described in Lisa's add. It is a nice quite little bungalow with a view over the river, which was nice in the mornings to sit in the bay window with a coffee and enjoy the view. The village is good with the manor inn being the local pub and a small shop for the essentials just down the road. If you require a big supermarket they are located just 10 mins drive away. we enjoyed the walks the scenery the river boat and the villages and towns around. All in all a pleasant weekend away for our small family. Lisa gave us good recommendations on the local area and ensured we knew everything important, there was even a basket of books, leaflets and maps of the surrounding area so we could be sure to find our way around.
